        I'm sure they're going to just give up on the millions and millions they make off their pill distribution system they implaced. I'll hold my breathe.

        @BabajideFadoju @asemota @TunjiLardner Yea, as usually what happens, you begin to export opioids to shhhhhhole countries. Pharmaceuticals need to make money. Nigeria watch out, we have elections next year, and we don't need to be dope upped. Might miss a good Candidate.

        Stuff is old, even antiquated. Barely needs drug company marketing. It is driven by patient demand and marketing, not doctor-driven IMO

        I've been on #narcotic pain meds for almost 6 years. Unfortunate, but I couldn't live without them. I, like many, don't abuse them & have only have had doseage increases 2 times. Go after #heroin not legit meds! #pissed Time to switch to #morphine since nobody worries about that.
